  • This made me smile. My grandpa used to take me and my brother to school in the early mornings before my mom came home from work because she worked midnights, and my grandpa always listened to this and "The battle of New Orleans" and it just made me think about him and brought back some great memories, he passed away almost 3 years ago. Thanks for the Memories!

    This is such a great song--a true classic!!!

  • this is real country right here

  • yep

  • Great prospecting history!

  • this is my fav song the cake is a lie i <3 roblox i do not own rooblox. i like rock and roll i think eva from t d i is hot

  • I was always a big fan of Johnny Horton's. I was only ten when this song first came out but within time it grew on me & so did all his other songs. Johnny left us way too soon in that fatal car crash in 1960 at the prime of his youth, 35 years old. I could only imagine how many more songs he could have made. He was known for movie theme songs & his first venture out of the block, "The Battle Of New Orleans" which was a chart topper in 1959. It's true "the good they do die young" amen to that!!

  • im 37 and love good old music i listen to this music when i was a youngster

  • Thanks mrtibbs6912 great song and

    Video. This song sure brings back a

    lot of memories.

  • hahaha i heard this song on livelavalive 's account lol this is funny!

  • haha me too

    amazing

  • I first heard this song in the movie of the same name, starring John Wayne several years before Sarah Palin was born. It is sung by Johnny Horton, who died before Sarah Palin was born.

  • This song was wrote a very long time ago. It has nothing to do with Sarah Palin get your facts strait people!

  • tyvm good stuff

  • Great video guys!! How in the world did you get so many hits!! Was that all Sarah Palin's doing?

  • to alaska!

  • Yes Sarah Palin ought to be buried benath the mountains in Alaska.What a dippy woman.

  • LMAO

  • Now, would you say something like this about somone you actually knew? What a dippy comment about a real person, regardless of one's politics. Silly woman.

  • What about the goofy song by Bob and Doug McKensie ... "Take off eh, to the great what north ... take off you hosers" that cracks me up everytime I hear this song!!!!!!

  • Sarah Palin's song!

  • lol she wishes!

  • ahhaah

    I FOUND ALASKA!

  • dude it was mine you stole my alaska i want it back...NOW!!!

    xDD

  • Classic Johnny Horton song. thanks,

    Ben Gonsioroski

  • i wish Sarah Palin was still in the spotlight :(

  • haha... I love Livelavalive.

    "I FOUND ALASKA!"

    ahh wow. :D

  • Great song, great lyrics, great singer, great video.

    Governor Sarah -- stay as unspoiled as that wonderful state of yours...I am glad that you will not become a Washington insider, which turns honest people into dishonest sleaze-bags! Congrats on becoming a grandparent!

  • I love to listen to Jhonny Horton He's the best !

  • You should learn vocabulary instead of what you use on here my kids like to get on here to so you should stay off !

  • this is a very awsome video good job

  • THIS SONG IS AWESOMEEEE!!!

  • what do you want the house to be made of their was not a lot material in alaska then

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

  • north to alaska! its gettin bawmy out there!

  • The "singing fisherman" as he was called died too young. He was a wonderful storyteller and historian. You did a fine job with the video.

  • Canada lost its claim to being a decent country when they gave up their rights individual firearms ownership. OPNly cops and crooks now own guns. Where does that leave honest citizens when their lives are threatened? Any gov't that takes away decent citizen's rights to self-defense is not a just gov't. and any citizens that don't topple such a gov't. are not just citizens.

  • I think this song was also the opening theme of a movie by the same name starring Fabian who was like a James Dean of the day.

  • Indeed. The song was in fact written FOR the movie; if you listen to the lyrics, Johnny's basically singing the plot.

  • God...this video sux!

  • Well, if you're in love with a loser I'm not surprised. This is an AWESOME song

  • One of the last best songs around and Alaska is truly the last best deals our gov't ever made!!

  • probably the best beer drinking song ever everyone knows the barratone WAY UP NORTH bit

  • I'm Aussie and heaps of us know and belt this out over a beer!

  • i use to live in alaska its the best place in the world

  • Superb, just superb!!!!!!!!

  • one of the best songs ever, im from sweden I love alaska

  • yeah, as th people below, i got it from mitchell davis!

    haha i am russian so desided to check this out. an now can't stop singing! xD

  • bahahah yeahh mee too!

  • This video captures the true essence of Alaska, the gold rush and the people who made it happen. Supreme!

  • 0:22-0:40 how long did it take for them to walk across the mountains? awesome.

  • alright. i cannot keep this song out of my head. xD i loveee iiittttt!

  • Good video :)

  • man I hated living there for 9 years

    even though its the most beatufulist place on earth

  • I kind of wondered about life there, maybe southern Canada like Toronto for me someday but I don't think Alaska. You never know though! I sailed once in the Navy there, loved seeing the cute puffin birds! Looked and felt like a really cold foggy depressing place when I was there otherwise, but that can bring out some cool crazy behavior so I bet I may like it there on land! Hey thanks for the video post!

  • no canada!!!

    i'm sorry but from expeirence canada isn't that great.

    if you love nature and don't mind long winters you should defently go there.

    not much in the way of entertainment for younger people though. we are generally a non depressing people =]

  • Ummm Canada has lots of stuff to do.....you just do not understand, Canadaians are not so fond of sitting infront of the t.v. (this is for thatXquietXchick

  • Johnny Horton could flat out sing. Great Video too. Thank You for making it.

  • oh my gosh!! a history lesson without the university degree.

    wow, these people had guts...  thanks for sharing!!

  • yep he did lol thats why if u type in north to alaska like i did to try and find the song he used u get this above his video :) lol

  • I took I cruise to alaska, WAY better than any carribean one.

  • i will say alaska is amazing. Ive taken alot of carribean and alot of alaskan cruises as well. Ive traveled the world for many years. It depends what your looking for. if your looking to sip a mai tai and relax on a white sand beach, then carribean. If your looking to sightsee and adventure, fish, and be in the outdoors alaska is a must. Beautiful land there.

  • I love this film. Adventure, action and comedy, all in one!! One of Johnnys best!!

  • Oh Lord, I have never lived where steeples grow. I loved your creation as you finished it so long ago. And you looked on your work and called it good. I know that others find you in the light thats filtered down through tinted window panes. And yet I seem too feel you near tonight. In this dim,quiet starlight on the plains.{By George Badger Clark written for his mother. }

  • I Love This Song.!!

    Thank You.

  • My mum regularly went crazy when we heard this song on the radio in the early eighties: It often was on 'Evergreens a Go-Go'; a famous radio oldie show in Berlin those days, which HAD to be on during sunday morning breakfast. So now, another bunch of years later, this track has become a sweet little memory from my as well as from my mum's young years - kind of funny that...

    Anyway, Peter, thanks a lot towards Down Under for the really beautiful pictures you added to this nice melody!

  • The song predates the movie by several decades.

  • Thank you.

  • Does anyone know if this song was made for the movie, or they used this song for the movie?

  • What a great video and music. Thanks for sharing mrtibbs6912!

  • Stop calling Sarah a pig!

    You are pissing off the pigs.

  • pallin upsets the baby murderer crowd.....tsk tsk.....they will have an eternity to get over it in the underground volcano they are going to.

  • and im sure your imaginary friend in the clouds will give you a mystical kingdom for following a book of racism and prejudice.

    You ignorant excuse for a person.

  • Luv this video and this song is awesome!  Lots of great memories with my dad! :)

  • Thank you very much for posting this video! it made me happy, lots of memories!

  • This is a very well done video. The scenery and old pics are beautiful and I love the song. ...then, politics came to mind and I started reading the comments.

    ...I'm an environmentalist [aka treehugger] -

    It baffles me as to how anyone who cares about the planet can support Sarah.

  • lol nice man im in texas

  • People in New Mexico all ready have there name's on lists to go to Alaska for the next oil and gas boom

  • I'm already in alaska waiting. Dollar signs in my eyes.

  • That's your opinion.

  • I can see Russia from my porch!

  • Seeing how russia is about 300 miles off the coast of alaska, i doubt that

  • I know that.....Tell that to the idiot who is running for vice president.... that is her foriegn policy experience.I can see Russia fro my porch.

  • Palin obviously is an itelligent women, shes the governer of alaska, and has a prominent position on a number of high end enterprises, and she has the qualifications for VP of the USA, just because she makes a statement that was obviously exagurated doesnt mean shes an idiot, because obviously shes not.

  • it was a skit from snl..can you tell fact from fiction? bet you think they are still on that island also.
